About The Diageo World Class Finals

The finals were held at the St Regis Hotel in Mexico City. 55 bartenders from all over the world had qualified and were given the following tasks.

Mex-eco – create a drink with sustainability in focus

Signature – Create a cocktail inspired by a personal story

Heat of the moment – A cocktail of Mexican ingredients

Cocktails at home – A simple cocktail made in a small kitchen

After this only ten bartenders got to keep competing in the challenge Lucha Libre where they should create six classic cocktails in six minutes. Here Josephine got eliminated but ended up in a very respectable seventh place.

With a competition of 55 bartenders from all over the world, the cocktails look and taste very different. An example is how the Nordic countries often stand out in the sustainable category.
